My free will has never interfered with anyone elses free will and moral integrity. My free will has never stopped a fire fighter from helping me as my house was on fire. My free will never stopped a doctor in the middle of a life saving surgery.

Lastly my free will has never prevented modern feats of engineering nor any medical advancements that have cured billions that would have otherwise died.

How the fuck does my free will stop a god from being a decent caring being who is fully aware of every consequence of his inaction ?

The only way it makes any kind of sense is when the god in question doesn't actually exist in the first damn place

Insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

God = good
Us = bad children
It's silly For me it seems that any god would have programmed us differently as to avoid all the centuries of killing

I say that God is supposed to be all-knowing, which means that he already knew what the outcome was going to be before it happened. Therefore, it IS his fault!

“Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool.” - Mark Twain

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature that he has been destroying is this God he's worshiping.

~ Hubert Reeves

I like the quote and this seems like a good place for it.

“I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.”~Mark Twain
“Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gills.”~ Ambrose Bierce
